I will give y’all a visual representation of how I think I must have looked when I stepped on the scale tonight: Yeah, I’m a seriously attractive individual when I really want to be, I’m aware of this fact. Now, before I even tell you what the scale said this week, let me tell you [...]

In Which Fatso Is In Pain. Again.
Another week, another quiet week, blog-wise. I could make excuses, but I’m not gonna. There’s not a lot going on. My collarbone is still sore, and I’ve still got that pulled muscle in my left arm, and neither seem to be getting much better, to be perfectly honest. I don’t know what to do. My [...]
Weekly Weigh-In: July 26, 2010
29st 1lb (184.6kg) -6lb (2.72kg) – 262lbs (118.84kg) to go My quads are killing me. I’ll admit, I worked pretty hard at spinning yesterday morning and then went straight into the swimming pool afterward, but holy cow, my quads are killing me. Jenni keeps saying, “you should feel it in your quads,” while we’re doing [...]
In Which Fatso Has Fun
I think there’s a lot to be said about going swimming with someone else vs. going swimming alone. Example: Tuesday this week, I went swimming alone, and I did laps in the pool for 40 minutes. Great exercise, sure, but tedious. I mean, the highlight of the night was when Heart Radio played “Flashdance”. Admittedly, [...]
In Which Fatso Is Bleeding To Death
I mentioned last time how I’d gotten my period. Of course I still have my period. It feels like I have every period I haven’t had over the past year rolled into one big ball, including cramps. I am in so much pain it’s not funny; painkillers aren’t helping! Heat isn’t helping! Of course, I [...]
In Which Fatso Has A Quiet Week
As the subject line says: it’s been a quiet week, huh? To be honest, I sort of had a really bad week last week, as y’all could probably tell. This week, I’ve just been pretty chill. I didn’t get any more unpacking done because I don’t have, uh, any more storage to unpack anything to, [...]
In Which Fatso Is A Winner
Two very exciting things arrived in the mail for me today. First was my confirmation that I am a student again! I have been sending things back and forth with The Open University, and starting in October, I’m going to be (in addition to whatever is happening at the time) studying a BA (Honours) English [...]
In Which Fatso Learns To Love The Elliptical
I think I’ve pretty much given up on the treadmill. Back in February, I refused to call it a dreadmill because I wanted to learn to love it. I wanted to be one of those gym bunnies in the cute outfits who could run on the treadmill for a half hour without getting bored. I’m [...]
In Which Fatso Hates Being Fat
One thing I really hate about being fat is my “belly flap” – I’ve talked about it before, and no doubt I will talk about it again. Basically, I am so fat that my stomach and gravity had an argument, in which gravity won and my stomach folded down over the tops of my thighs [...]
In Which Fatso Is Enjoying The Weather
According to my weather widget, it’s a beautiful 22°C (72°F) here in Hamilton right now. For us, this is glorious weather. The kids are running about with their shirts off and their super-soaker guns out. The swimming pool was practically empty when I was waiting for the attendants to bring out the spinning bikes this [...]
